The hand to beat: royal flush

Five consecutive cards, all the same suit, ending with an Ace. The strongest hand in poker.

01

ANTE UP, GET TWO CARDS

Every seated player antes 50 chips into the pot — no blinds. Then everyone gets two private hole cards.

02

FOUR STREETS, ONE ROUND EACH

Pre-flop, flop (3 shared cards), turn (4th), river (5th). Each street has exactly one betting round.

03

CHECK, BET 100, RAISE +100

In turn: check if nothing is owed, open with a fixed 100-chip bet, call, raise +100 (max one raise per street), or fold.

04

SHOWDOWN OR STEAL IT

Best five-card hand from your two cards plus the board wins the pot — ties split it. If everyone else folds, the pot is yours instantly.
